Today’s Mug Up was an extra special event, being a combination Sunday Morning Mug Up and continuation of the celebration of supermen, Paul Morrison and Ed Collard’s triumphant completion of the grueling Blackburn Challenge after having had a good night’s rest. Don’t they both look so hale and hearty and tanned. Sista Felicia brought a special addition to the Mug Up fare of amazing Superman cookies (which she got up at 5:00 am to bake, with the help of BJ and Amanda). Paul Morrison brought the ever-awesome Lattoff Farms Monkey Bread (this batch was particularly heavily coated in warm, gooey cinnamon sauce – as you can see from the fingerlickin photo of our leader, Joey C.). We even had a visit from our lovely Mayor, Carolyn Kirk, pictured with guest artist, Ruth Curtis (who brought a healthy fruit salad) and adopted shelter family member . . . (sorry, I forgot her name). And our dear Paulie Walnuts was in the house, and brought an amazing cranberry walnut coffee cake. Good food, conversation and fun was had by all. Next Mug Up will be Sunday, July 31 at 10:00 am.

About E.J.
Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer.
Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.
Do you have super powers if you hold your Superman cookie upside down?
I checked:http://www.comicmix.com/media/2008/09/03/superman-shield.jpg
So bummed to have missed it, but at least I have a valid excuse this time…I had to cover a hostessing shift @ Sugar Mags, it was bananas!

I think you’ll have to ask Ed that, since he’s the one holding his Superman cookie upside down and would know whether or not his superhuman abilities have been diminished because of it; but only you Paul would have picked up on that.
Not to worry Paul….I’m ready for the next adventure!!
I feel soooo honored to be part of this wonderful community of talented artists and working fishermen etc…and I can attest to all the food…it was very yummy!!!! Thanks
E.J., I hope the next Mug Up will be as much fun as the last! I will be there and am looking forward to meeting you and seeing the gallery! See you on the 31st.
